Patience

Waste

A person came for Periyava's darshan. This person saw a boy from his village serving in the Matam and started saying: "Ha, this chap is here. He is a 'waste'. He is a good for nothing fellow. He was roaming the streets and now he has come here!"

That ticked off Periyava. He started off thus:

"Yes he is a Waste and I am the Waste bin. All waste get dumped here. But don't forget that from the waste the creepers, plants grow and give us tasteful vegetables, fruits and flowers."

"Ash gourd, Kurukkathi (a flower), Kuppaimeni (a herb) grow in waste. And when you stir the waste, out comes insects and worms that harm you and you have done just that"!

The person was shaken by the outburst and offered his apology.

Girl

Many years ago, Mahaperiava was on His way to having darshan of Sri Nandeeswararat Parangimalai St Thomas Mount in Madras. En route He had darshan of Trisulanathar and Tripurasundari and then
rested for a while under a fig tree (as He always walked, whatever be the distance).

He felt thirsty and so called out for one of His sishyas. But, since they were resting at a distance, none heard it. Then, there appeared a Little Girl with water in a 'sombu' a small vessel and offered it to Him. He drank it and when He wanted to return the sombu, She was not be seen around any where. He asked every one, but none had even seen Her.

Then He sat in meditation for a while and realised that the Girl was none other than Ambal herself. He called the village head and other people and told them to dig the place where He sat.They found the vigraha of Balambika and Chandikeswari there!

He told them to instal the vigrahas and thus came about the present day Sri Vidya Raja Rajeswari temple at Nehru Nagar, Pazhavanthangal, Nanganallur, Madras!

The address is:

Nehru Colony 2nd St, Nanganallur, Madras.
